39382 Opportunity, also designated 2696 P-L, is a Hilidan asteroid from the outermost region of the asteroid belt, roughly 5 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by Dutch astronomer couple Cornelis and Ingrid van Houten-Groeneveld and Dutch–American astronomer Tom Gehrels, on 24 September 1960. The asteroid was spotted by examining photographic plates taken at the U.S. Palomar Observatory, California. On October 11, 2004, following a proposal by van Houten-Groeneveld in 2002, the minor planet was named Opportunity, after the Mars Exploration Rover.
